When I bought my Story, the Sonys weren't really in contention, because sony wasn't distributing them in this country (Australia). CS is an issue with most companies, but I didn't want to wade into a situation where I'd have to be sending it off-shore for repairs or replacement. And to add to that, I was wary of the screens - I prefer an e-ink to a TFT. I know that TFTs can be read in low light (thumbs up), but they tend to give me eye-strain (two thumbs down).

I've considered a Kindle, but I dunno, I'm not convinced. And all my books are in ePub, not MOBI.
Sonys were always e-ink. In fact they were the first company to use e-ink. And now they have a Pearlscreen just as the Kindle has (these are the only two companies at the moment with pearl). The touchscreen is operated via infrared beams, so there is absolutly no glare and the screens are matte.
